Quitting

Quitting (Chinese: 昨天; literally: "Yesterday") is a 2001 Chinese drama film directed by Zhang Yang, starring and based on the true life story of Jia Hongsheng. Jia, an actor and former drug addict, battled his addiction to marijuana and heroin for five years from 1992 to 1997. All members of the cast, from Jia and Jia's family members right down to the doctors and patients at a mental institute Jia was admitted to, are real people playing themselves. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival on 4 September 2001 and clinched the NETPAC Award.

The original Chinese title is an allusion to The Beatles classic song "Yesterday". References to The Beatles, of whom Jia was an avid fan, are also made throughout the film. Besides dressing up like John Lennon, Jia also fantasized himself as Lennon's son and recited the Chinese translation of the lyrics to Let It Be religiously. However, Michael Jackson, who owned the rights to most Beatles songs, declined to give permission for the song or its title to be used in the film. Instead, the film uses songs by Chinese rockers such as Cui Jian, Tang Dynasty and Dou Wei.

Grab The Soul To Hell

by: Chthonic

Those who lived, went back running
Her light steps approached the door
ChouTfs house stands before her
Long has she waited for this
Harried steeds
Their owners stumbled
To report that her malevolence
Too strong to conquer
Guan De Gun was summoned
Slayer of Demons, feared in all Hells
TgSubmit to my sword now and
TgI shall grant you a quick deathTh
Chiong Kui Ya was called upon
Upholder of Order, Ghost Destroyer
TgRun all you want, like all othersTh
TgExecution is inevitableTh
Care not whether I live or die
But thy judgement shall not be unjustified
Why have you all turned a blind?
ChouTfs obliquity absurdly connived.
Thy escape, infraction of the Laws of Hell
Your slaying of entire troop just increases the anger of us
Damned Demon Natao shall be unmercifully punished.
You all shall rue the moment you stepped forth
How Noble your Godship no matter.
For his soul gnaws at mine, my hunger
You shall not stop me for nonsensical reason.
Blades flashing, quicker than the eye
She parried with her own, slicing
Spells hurled, seeking to envelop
She absorbed, and responded tenfold
Both Heaven and Hell under-mined her
Legions died in their attempts to conquer
fallen bodies Natao gladly stepped over
To despoil ChouTfs life at sight and grab his soul to hell
Grab your soul to hell
Hateful, Grab your soul to hell
Hateful, Grab your soul to hell
